this is why I have huge brick wall between us. (long)

My dad's family is so predictable. I am not even sure why I am upset. 

Today I got a call from my dad saying he isn't coming to my graduation.  I am not to shocked, as this is his normal character.  I would be more understanding if it ahd to do with my brother, but it doesn't.  It is a woman. It is a woman he has known less than a month.  Her daughter is graduating the same day at a different college across town at noon.  If he comes to mine at 10, he will miss the opportunity to impress a piece of ass.  At least this woman is more is age and not my age.

I called a lot of my family a over a month ago to tell them about my party that night at 6.  I found out on Saturday my aunt planned my cousin's b-day party same day at 5.  Again, this would have upset me if it were planned before my party.  I would have moved mine to Sunday.  Nope they threw this together last week.  

I called my "grandpa" to invite him to the graduation and party.  He can't come.  He has to work in his wood shop.  He is freaking retired and works in it everyday.  He can't come to my graduation party now, he is going to K's bday.

It really shouldn't sting, but it does.  I have lived with this my whole life. I should have known they weren't coming/didn't care.  

My dad will "make up" for it.  He will give me a butt load of money or a nice gift and bring Allie a bunch of crap.  It makes him feel better.  I will be lucky if my "grandpa" even calls me.  My aunt and uncle are upset I am not bringing A to the party.  It is 20 mins from my house.  I would miss part of my own party if I took her.

    Are you sure we don't have the same dad?

    I'm sorry MW. That really really sucks, and is kind of selfish on their part. :::hugs:::: Congrats on graduating though Party!!! That's a  big deal.

    Ugh, I'm sorry MW.  Expected behavior or not, that's upsetting.  It sounds like you'll have a much better time without them anyway.

    I wish disappointment in shitty family was something you could outgrow, and that those little shards of hope that maybe THIS time they'll care would fade, but I'm not sure they ever do. :( I'm sorry MW. I know how much it stings.

    I'm sorry they stink at being a good family.  I get stressed out when scheduling conflicts happen in my family and they only happen by mistake.  You deserve to be proud of your graduation and enjoy your party!  Party!!!
